Geoffrey Bawa is counted among the great architects of the 20th century, his creations encompassing some of the island’s most celebrated landmarks and include houses, hotels, schools, clubs, offices and government buildings. Yet foremost among these creations is his private residence at Lunuganga. An obvious labour of love, Bawa spent over 40 years meticulously transforming the former rubber estate into a sprawling, palatial playground. The Italianate garden unfurls with paths along meticulously crafted geometric axes, numerous water features, courtyards, walkways and an abundance of vegetation. With no shortage of romantic nooks and impressive views, the garden is a veritable treasure trove of discovery. Next on the itinerary is Brief Gardens, created by Geoffrey`s brother Bevis Bawa. In stark contrast to the former, Brief Gardens offers an untamed, eclectic landscape, verdant and overflowing with all things tropical, showcasing Bevis’s penchant for horticulture and landscaping.

The name Kandy conjures visions of splendor and magnificence, declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Many of the legends, traditions and folklore are still lovingly kept alive. On your way to Kandy, you will visit the nursery and captive breeding ground for wild Asian elephants, visit the colorful Royal Botanical Garden in Peradeniya renowned for its collection of orchids and the golden-roofed Temple of the Sacred Tooth housing Sri Lanka’s most important Buddhist relic – a tooth of the Buddha. During puja (offerings or prayers), the heavily guarded room housing the tooth is open to devotees and tourists. However, you don’t actually see the tooth as it is kept in a gold casket shaped like a dagoba (stupa), which contains a series of six dagoba caskets of diminishing size. But a visit to Kandy is never complete without having visited the Temple of the Tooth.
